Will Ferrell Promotes This Week's Saturday Night Live Episode

I've got a fever. And the only prescription is more Ferrell. Fortunately, Saturday Night Live is delivering on that this weekend when Ferrell returns to the NBC sketch comedy series to host the episode. The promos ahead have Ferrell reminding us that he's set to headline this Saturday's episode.

Ferrell went on to have a successful movie career, with films like Old School and Anchorman among his credits, but before that, he was making us laugh as Craig the cheerleader and with his take on Alex Trebek, among other great SNL moments. And then, of course, there was the "Cowbell" sketch, which demonstrated the comedic range of the instrument as much as it did Ferrell's sense of humor. Will he deliver those kinds of laughs when he hosts SNL this weekend? We'll find out. In the meantime, here are the promos for the episode, which include broach and beard humor.

Broach humor is really unexplored territory, so right there we've got something new to laugh at. And then there's the joke about the live nature of the show, which included a lot of head and facial-hair editing. You really can't go wrong with fake beards and wigs.

Here are a couple of flashbacks to help further whet your appetite for Ferrell's upcoming episode, which airs this Saturday at 11:30 p.m. ET on NBC.
